About Wolf Ridge Academy

Welcome to Wolf Ridge Academy, a private boarding school nestled in tranquil forests. At Wolf Ridge Academy, we are committed to providing a holistic and transformative educational experience for students in grades 6 through 12. Our unique approach combines rigorous academics with real-world life skills, leadership development, and a deep connection to nature.

Our Vision

Wolf Ridge Academy believes that education goes beyond the classroom. We envision a world where young minds are encouraged to grow not only academically but also personally and socially. Our mission is to cultivate resilient leaders, creative thinkers, and compassionate citizens prepared to make a positive impact on the world.

Our Campus

Located on a secluded, forested lot, our campus is designed to blend modern facilities with the beauty of the natural surroundings. From state-of-the-art classrooms and science labs to visual and digital arts studios, every building is thoughtfully placed to maximize immersion in nature. Our library, featuring expansive windows overlooking the forest, offers a peaceful retreat for focused study. Dormitories are organized into clusters of nature-integrated cabins, each with central communal spaces and outdoor patios, fostering a sense of community among students.

Academics and Curriculum

Wolf Ridge Academy offers a curriculum that goes beyond traditional schooling, allowing students to graduate with an Associate’s degree. Beginning in grade 6, our students explore a robust academic curriculum that includes a blend of leadership, arts, sciences, and foreign languages. Each student receives an iPad or MacBook Pro to ensure they are equipped with the tools they need to succeed in a digital world. Our foreign language program offers a personalized experience, allowing students to test two languages in grade 6 before choosing one to pursue through graduation, with the option to take on a second language in grade 11.

Life Skills and Outdoor Learning

Our campus is more than just a place for learning; it’s a thriving community where students are encouraged to grow in every aspect of life. We offer a range of outdoor learning spaces, nature trails, and a challenging obstacle course with the Wolf’s Triumph Award, fostering teamwork, resilience, and a love for the great outdoors. Students also participate in community art shows in collaboration with a local gallery, connecting their creative expressions with the broader community.

Athletics and Extracurriculars

At Wolf Ridge Academy, we believe in the importance of a balanced life. Our multipurpose stadium hosts a variety of sports, including soccer, football, lacrosse, and track & field, offering students ample opportunities to stay active and work as part of a team. We also have a small indoor theater, an outdoor amphitheater, and communal spaces where students can showcase their talents and interests.
